                    SYMPOSIUM:
  
    SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT FOR PROCESS AND MATERIALS DESIGN
    =====================================================

Computational materials science has matured to the point that
technological problems related to materials design, processing,
and chemical synthesis are being investigated on computers often
before conducting expensive and time-consuming experiments.
The simple truth is that the cooperation of computational material
scientists and experimentalists results in much faster development
cycles and a better understanding of the problem at hand.

Explosive growth in software development for computational materials research
resulted in a vast number of approaches, methods, and software packages.
Computer-aided modeling and simulation is now an established procedure in:
microelectronics, optoelectronics, nanotechnology, fine chemicals, 
polymers, drug design, biotechnology, and many other fields.
We invite contribution which describe method and software development
important in the materials and process design, namely:
 * Quantum Monte Carlo,
 * Traditional ab initio and semiempirical quantum methods,
 * Density-functional approaches,
 * Tight binding techniques,
 * Force field based molecular mechanics, dynamics and Monte Carlo simulations,
 * Mesoscale and multiscale modeling,
 * Molecular modeling and graphics approaches,
 * Combinatorial chemistry and high throughput screening techniques,
 * QSPR and QSAR techniques,
 * Informatics, efficient user interfaces, and statistical and data mining
   techniques,
 * other computational methods important for materials and process design.

We will also consider solicit good examples which represent practical 
applications of these approaches to important materials and process design
problems. This symposium is also an occasion to foster and strengthen
the scientific and commercial partnership between Western and Eastern Europe
and promote the collaboration with the world leading materials science software
design centers and materials scientists in commercial, academic, and 
governmental sectors. Please consult the web site at  http://www.asdn.net/emrs
